4:30 Hailee Padalecki & Ross Ackles & Max Sheppard & Will Sheppard

"What does a day in the life of the Padalecki-Ackles house look like?" the fan asks.

"I got this," Hailee smiles.

"Oh no," Max says under his breath.

"So I get up about 7:00, get dressed, head upstairs, go to the bathroom... As I'm starting to comb my hair, Ross finally gets his butt out of bed, and-"

"Hey!" Ross interrupts.

"Okay, fine, so you're dressed when you come in," Hailee shrugs then continues, "Ross does whatever he needs to do, I finish combing my hair and brushing my teeth, then head back down to the kitchen and living room. By that time, Tom and JJ are usually on the bus headed off to school. Shep either is in his seat eating breakfast until ten minutes before I have to leave, or he follows me around all morning. I finish getting ready for school and Ross finishes getting ready for work, and about 7:45 Dad, Uncle Jensen, Ross, and I get in the car. I get dropped off at school which starts at eight, and they head off to work. In case y'all hadn't heard, Ross has an internship with filming."

"Y'all," Ross drawls, mocking her, "Y'all wiskers better find me some gold dubloons."

Hailee bursts out laughing, "What are you even doing?"

"You use the word 'y'all' a lot," Ross defends.

"You try growing up with two born-and-raised Texans! It's a wonder I don't have an accent!"

Max sighs, "Continue."

"Anywho. So Max and I got to the same school, but I think the teacher that organizes schedules purposely puts us in different classes."

"That and you just have a really weird schedule," Max raises an eyebrow.

"I'm personalising my academic career," Hailee sasses.

Max facepalms, "I give up."

"It's taken you this long?" Ross questions.

"So. Max and I hang out during breaks, and walk home together after school. He comes to my house because he lives farther away and his dad works with my dad," Hailee ignores the two, "We hang out, do homework, I help him with math, whatev-"

"Okay, we get it, you're in Precalculus. Not my fault you started Algebra I in seventh grade because the school had no idea what to do with you," Ross jokes.

Max claps a hand on Hailee's shoulder, "This is our smarty pants. We are very proud of her."

Hailee smiles, "Or there's the times that one of us is sick but went to school anyway, so we just have a Supernatural marathon. Those are great."

Hailee pauses to wait for a comment, then raises her eyebrows and continues, "Dad, Uncle Jensen, and Ross get home and we have supper, then Dad or Uncle Jensen drive Max to his house on the way back to work because they've got some individual thing they have to finish up with someone. Little ones are put to bed, and Ross and I might hang out for a while, then we go to bed. Sleep the night through, and restart the next day."

"Something like that," Ross smirks.
